I'll take a guess here... It may be possible that FSX is looking for DX10 since you have the 64 bit OS running. I run Vista 64 w/ DX10 and have no issues.

cool...will give it a shot. what graphics card you running? thankshey!..you live where my dad grew up!...new Rochelle,NY. small world. of course my dad was born in 1945 lol

Just remember that you can only get DX10 with Vista 32 or 64. I don't believe that you will ever be able to get it without making the Vista plunge. Im running a an NVidia 8800 GTS.New Ro - woot!

yes I have Vista 64 (read my original post) which is bundled with DX10.
